    After seeing alot of talk about Noctua I decided to give them a chance and without a doubt they live up to the hype. Thier cpu cooler significantly dropped my temps and the fan is the most quiet I have ever used. I would recommend their products to anyone who wants to quiet down thier pc without sacrificing cooling effectiveness. I will be replacing all the fans in my computers with Noctua and using them for all my future projects.

    Ce noctua vaut son prix. Pas de petites économies, Noctua a soigné son packaging, clair, fourni en documentation, et compatible avec les différents socket. La pâte thermique est de qualité. Un achat qui inspire la confiance pour le(s) cœur(s) de nos config.... A recommander sans hésitation.

    Avevo un dissipatore stock Intel prima di acquistare questo. Dopo vari tentativi di settare meglio le risorse della scheda madre ho deciso di cambiarlo, infatti le temperature erano sempre sui 65°C circa. Appena installato con la pasta termica fornita con esso le temperature sono calate attorno ai 38°C in idle. Che dire, prezzo meritato!

    Although a big cooler, it is one of the more slimline big air coolers so memory/cooler conflicts are unlikely. Can easily be mounted in any desired orientation. The mounting kit is excellent: solid and reassuringly well made; the use of tensioning screws to mount the main heatsink mean that it cannot be overtightened (which removes a stress when using it with a gen 6 socket 1151 proc). Comes with all the compound and parts required to mount on either an AMD or Intel socket. Instructions are clear and simple to follow. Includes mounting clips and rubber feet so an additional fan can be fitted if desired. Overall, and excellent CPU cooler.

    When it appeared that my order might take longer than I had hoped, I kept debating whether cancel the order and get a water kit. When it arrived earlier than originally stated, I decided to give it a shot... and Im glad I did! My new build has a 4Ghz i7 4790k that idled at ~72C with the stock cooler. Cranking the i7 up to 4.7 GHz, the Noctua NH-U12S keeps the CPU around 40C idle and 55C under load with the single CPU fan turning around 650 RPM. I had no problem with the cooler clearing the G.Skill Ripjaws X memory stick in slot 1. While I have the cooler orientated with the fan toward the PCIe slots (so it pushes the air out the top of the case), its obvious that a second fan would also clear the memory had I switched orientation.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility

Standing 158mm tall, the NH-U12S is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups.

100% RAM compatibility

Thanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, the NH-U12S will not overhang the RAM slots even with two fans installed. This gives the user full access to the memory modules on all current CPU sockets and ensures 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans.
